Permissions for performing operations are assigned to individual roles in the project's process configuration. Permissions for operations can be assigned to roles at the project level or within a team area. The default role permissions apply to all users in the repository. Besides role-based permissions, new users are also assigned repository permissions based on repository groups. Repository permissions are configured for each user in the user editor.
The process template in Rational Quality Manager includes the following predefined user roles:
When Rational Quality Manager is installed, there is no distinction between these roles. All operations in the system are granted to these built-in default roles: upon installation, Rational Quality Manager is a completely open system. You can choose to govern the process according to your deployment objectives. You can use and configure the built-in roles or create roles.
All operations in Rational Quality Manager are defined as project-level operations. This means that users must be added to the Quality Manager project area as a prerequisite for the Jazz™ process to validate against the role.
The list of configurable permissions can be found in the Permissions section in the Process Editor for both project and team configuration. However, note these requirements:
Settings for role-based permissions are defined on the Process Configuration page or the Process Configuration Source page of the Project Area editor or Process Template editor. These settings apply to the entire project. To modify permissions for a team area, use the Process Customization page or Process Customization Source page of the Team Area editor.
You configure process permissions and behavior independently. Your team can choose to customize just the permissions for an operation, just the behavior of an operation, or both.
When creating a user, you can assign repository permissions using group designations. Repository group assignments control the user's access to the Jazz repository. Assign a new user to one or more of the following groups:
